Shap Barrow

Round Barrow(s)

CARL Nov 1, 2010

Visited 18.9.10
Driving west out of Shap on the way to see the Thunder Stone, you pass the remains of this small barrow on your right hand side. All that can be seen is a small, mainly ploughed out mound on the crest of the hill.
Fairly easy to spot if you know to keep an eye out for it.
